Yoga and Ayurveda are considered Sister Sciences of the Vedic Philosophy meaning that they are from the same lineage of thinking in terms of how to see the World around us and within us. Yoga teaches about mental health and Ayurveda teaches about physical health and each has a little of the other within it. Both use the theory of the Five Elements to describe the body, mind and Spirit and all of Nature around us. They both agree with the notion 'as above - so below' meaning that all of us and everything within the Universe bows to a natural rhythm and to all of the inherent relationships within Nature. Both Yoga and Ayurveda present themselves in ancient texts like a guidebook for living or a 'how to' book for the healthy enjoyment of life. Ayurveda teaches self massage, lifestyle routines, therapeutic yoga and dietary advice to its practitioners and Yoga teaches physical postures leading to breathwork techniques, mindfulness and meditation.
